Berserk, Vol. 5(1993)

Kentaro Miura

He is Guts, the Black Swordsman, a warrior of legendary prowess. Relentless, fearless, merciless. As cold and brutal as the iron of the massive sword he wields and bent on revenge against the unholy forces that have branded him for sacrifice, especially Griffith, one of the demon lords of the Godhand. But Griffith was once a man, once the leader of the Hawks, a renowned cadre of elite fighters with a young Guts as its fiercest champion. Though forged in a crucible of cruelty and violence, nothing could prepare Guts for a confrontation with Nosferatu Zodd, a superhuman beast who slaughters Guts' comrades as easily as a scythe cuts wheat. Even Guts and Griffith are no match for the abomination's power...but something Griffith wears around his neck may well be!

Created by Kentaro Miura, Berserk is maniacal manga to the max—relentless, harrowing, and gruesomely funny—and the inspiration for the popular anime series. If you're looking for graphic fiction tied up with a pretty, pink bow, you'd better run for the hills—because Berserk will show you what you can do with that bow!
